PRISTINA -- Thursday – The UN mission in Kosovo tonight denied having
received information about possible terrorist attacks in the province,
although security measures in Pristina, particularly around the
mission headquarters, have been noticeably stepped up.
The head of the mission, Harri Holkeri, said today that security was
being intensified because of the responsibility to provide a secure
environment and not because of any rumours which were circulating.
The Kosovo governor was responding to reports that a letter to UN
headquarters in New York had warned of attacks on a number of foreign
missions in Kosovo during the following 72 hours.
Independent Pristina television station Kohavision today reported
claims that KFOR troops had arrested a suspect in possession of large
quantities of explosives.
The international peacekeepers have neither denied nor confirmed the
arrest.
